Standoff in Central District ends in arrest

A man wanted on several outstanding felony warrants has been arrested after he ran into a Central District home Wednesday night and refused to come out.

He was seen on the porch of a house in the 900 block of 27th Avenue about 8:30 p.m.

Officers had tried to talk to him earlier in the day, but he fled. And police thought he might be armed.

Officers drove by the house Wednesday night, and the 18-year-old ran inside.

Worried that he might have a gun, officers set up a containment around the house, called for backup and ultimately made contact with several children and elderly people inside the house. They left safely, leaving only the suspect inside.

He surrendered after what police describe as extended negotiations. He was booked into the King County Jail.
